it’s so super cool in concept to be able to listen to these read aloud while on the go! i get the vibe setting background music, sometimes it is really successful in establishing pace. but some moments it makes it really difficult to hear / understand - especially episode 5. walking down the street, it was like listening to an abstract ASMR thing. i exerted so much effort & hyper focus in trying to understand the high soft voice over the bass-y music. even still, i caught one of every few words then had to give up. hoping in the future, intelligibility in tone, evenness in readers volume, pitch of reader vs. music will be refined more so that these written pieces are more accessible.
